 Continuing to push the boundaries of media connectivity, 
the Fiber DriverT GBIC-to-SFP Media Module (EM316-GBICSFP) from MRV 
Communications is a data rate independent, single channel solution for linking 
GBIC and SFP interfaces. It defines a new level of deployment flexibility and 
inventory management, enabling the implementation of an extremely wide range of 
network infrastructure solutions from media conversion and signal boosting to 
lambda conversion, Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Optical Add/Drop 
Multiplexing (OADM).
 
 The GBIC-to-SFP Media Module offers plug-n-play ease 
of installation. Simply place the module into the Fiber Driver chassis, insert 
the GBIC and SFP transceivers required for the protocol and distance of the 
application, and connect to the network.
 
 Because GBIC and SFP 
transceivers are portable they can be easily used again at a different location 
for a different application, maximizing the investment in equipment and reducing 
the need for on-hand inventory. MRV Communications provides a complete range of 
optical and copper plug-in interfaces for the EM316GBIC-SFP.
 
 The 
GBIC-to-SFP Media Module is data rate independent and performs 2R - reshape and 
retransmit - conditioning of the data signal. Any protocol is supported, 
including Fast and Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, ESCON, SONET (OC-3, OC-12, OC-48 and 
above), Fibre Channel (1 Gbps & 2 Gbps), Serial Digital Video Interface 
(SDI) SMPTPE-269 and SMTPE-292, DVB, HDTV (1.5 Gbps), and many 
others.
 
 With an externally connected Mux/Demux unit such as the 4- or 
8-channel Fiber Driver CWDM Passive Mux/Demux (EM316PA4N / EM316PA8N), the 
GBIC-to-SFP Media Module can be used as a WDM solution building block configured 
to the desired protocol/data rate and provided with GBICs or SFPs of the 
required wavelengths. Deployed along a WDM trunk at customer service points 
using MRV Communications' passive OADM technology, the GBIC-to-SFP Media Module 
can be used to create a sophisticated Add/Drop topology.
 
 The GBIC-to-SFP 
Media Module is a hot swappable, single-slot module that can be placed in any 
powered Fiber Driver chassis. It fully supports the GBIC and SFP standards, 
including SFP digital diagnostics as per SFF-8472. Through the Fiber Driver 
Network Management Module, the EM316-GBICSFP is SNMP manageable and fully 
supported through the GUI of MegaVision WebT, MRV Communications' comprehensive 
Network Management System (NMS).
